Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics

Well a couple of good friends of mine Elmo and Patsy Wrote me and said they'd written the perfect country Christmas comedy Song.
Two of my friends, Elmo and Patsy, told me they wrote a great Christmas song and wanted me to include it on my record.

"No you didn't. You didn't mention nothing about... Well...yeah you pretty much got it all. I mean Grandma and of course the Family and getting drunk and run over by heavy machinery and..."
At first, I thought Elmo and Patsy's song was missing important details like Grandma and our family's Christmas traditions. But then I realized they had actually included everything, even the part where Grandma gets run over by a reindeer.

Well since I needed the money I felt obliged to include it on this record.
I agreed to include Elmo and Patsy's song on my record because I needed the money.

Grandma got runned over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas Eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
On Christmas Eve, Grandma was hit by a reindeer while walking home from our house, but Grandpa and I still believe in Santa Claus, despite what others may say.

She'd been drinkin' too much eggnog, And we'd begged her not to go. But she'd left her medication, So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
Grandma had too much eggnog to drink, and we tried to stop her from leaving, but she forgot her medication and wandered out into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin', At the scene of the attack, There were hoof prints on her forehead, And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
On Christmas morning, they found Grandma at the site of the accident with hoof prints on her forehead and marks on her back that implicated Santa Claus.

Now we're all so proud of Grandma, He's been takin' this so well. See him in there watchin' football, Drinkin beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
Even though Grandma had a terrible accident, we're all proud of how well he's been handling it. He's currently relaxing inside, watching football, drinking beer, and playing cards with our cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma. All the family's dressed in black. And we just can't help but wonder: Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
Christmas just isn't the same without Grandma, and everyone in the family is wearing black to honor his memory. However, we're unsure whether we should open Grandma's gifts or return them.

Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of fig. And a blue and silver candle That would have just matched the hair in grandma's wig.
We're all gathered around the table enjoying Christmas dinner, which includes goose and fig pudding. There's also a candle that perfectly matches the color of Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbors. "Better watch out for yourselves. They should never give a license, To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves."
I've told my friends and neighbors to be careful around Santa Claus, since he's not licensed to drive a sleigh and play with elves.

Oh As for me and Grandpa, we believe. (We believe in Santa Claus.)
Grandpa and I still believe in Santa Claus despite what happened to Grandma.
